Re: Columbia Classics
They released Ishtar and Troop Beverly Hills themselves. So nothing from Sony surprises me any more.

Gotta try to make as much money from the upcoming Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser as possible, which comes out DTV in July.

Re: Columbia Classics
It's just sad that they're turning this of all films into a cash grab opportunity. That's not what Joe Dirt stood for.

Christine (1983)
The Indian in the Cupboard - 20th Anniversary (1995)
Jumanji - 20th Anniversary (1995)
Zathura - 10th Anniversary (2005)
No surprise with Christine that Sony is handling the re-issue themselves. If TT could sell 3000 copies in 8 hours that surely got Sony's attention.
First BD release for The Indian in the Cupboard. Jumanji and Zathura were released previously on BD in 2011.

I believe this is the first Twilight Time release to receive an American Blu-ray release after TT's license lapsed, right?captveg wrote:Christine (1983)

Yes, aside from the ones TT renewed & re-issued themselves.domino harvey wrote:I believe this is the first Twilight Time release to receive an American Blu-ray release after TT's license lapsed, right?captveg wrote:Christine (1983)

Re: Columbia Classics
It most likely sold out so quickly partly because it was limited to 3000 copies. I don't a regular non-limited edition would sell so much so quickly because there's no need to rush, it's not a limited print.captveg wrote:No surprise with Christine that Sony is handling the re-issue themselves.

Re: Columbia Classics
Sure, but 3000 copies that fast still indicates a market Sony didn't foresee, regardless of scalpers. With all the content of the release needing just a simple repurposing to a new disc image it's a no-brainer investment in their part.

Re: Columbia Classics
I was just thinking of Arrow's experience with Hellgate and Hell Comes to Frogtown, where most likely the 1000 copies sold out not because there was a market for the movies but because it was limited.captveg wrote:Sure, but 3000 copies that fast still indicates a market Sony didn't foresee, regardless of scalpers.

Sony could very well press 3000 copies of Christine and take 3 years to sell them out, and that would only further consolidate their view on how it's not interesting for them to do this kind of releases.

Re: Columbia Classics
Unfortunately, it hasn't been restored - they're showing it because Tavernier picked itStefan Andersson wrote:A Matter of Life and Death, restored in collaboration with Park Circus, screens at this year´s Venice Festival:

Where does this line up with other Capras? Closer to It Happened One Night, or the message films?

Re: Columbia Classics
It's lightweight, the only message is to have fun and let loose, you only live once, &c. It's an okay film, but not one I'm in any hurry to upgrade
